Undercover action leads to 37 arrests as drug gangs targeted - The Irish Times - Sat, Aug 14, 2010: "GARDA operation targeting drug gangs in west Dublin has resulted in the arrest of 37 people.
Those arrested were suspected street dealers involved with family-run gangs based in the Neilstown, Ronanstown and Ballyfermot areas.
Gardaí believe their surveillance activities have broken up two criminal gangs which have been major distributors of drugs throughout the city of Dublin for years.
Undercover gardaí, posing as drug addicts, bought drugs from dealers in places such as the Neilstown Road in Neilstown and Le Fanu Park in Ballyfermot, where they are commonly sold.
In many cases officers returned several times, gaining the confidence of suspects and gathering mobile phone numbers before making the arrests."
